The ISA would like to acknowledge the hardworking individuals who helped make the event a pilipiliÂþ»­: Debbie Mellish, Dr. Gefu Wang-Pruski, the Dal-AC Student Association and those at the Village of Bible Hill Fire Hall who volunteered their hall for the event.

This fund support a $500 annual bursary, which will first be awarded in Fall 2014.
